Community Tasting Note

Monday, October 3, 2022 - 2017 bottling. Double decanted two days before service.

Clear medium brown color with a green rim. Very high acidity, as expected from a relatively young Madeira. Lots of residual sugar hidden by the acid.

A couple of hours later, the mouthfeel is denser. The acidity is starting to calm down, but there's way too much residual sugar showing for a Sercial. Toffee, orange peel, some coffee on the palate. The wine seems to lack the refinement of Sercials from better years. I wanted to like this more.
